All aboard! Pete Davidson<\/a> and Colin Jost<\/a> are opening the Staten Island Ferry.<\/p>\n

The pair famously won the bid and purchased the decommissioned John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry at auction for $280,000 in 2022. Davidson and Jost have held several events on the ship, such as Tommy Hilfiger<\/a>‘s 2025 New York Fashion Week show. The ferry is getting ready for one of its biggest nights ever; this fall it will host a one-night-only comedy event.<\/p>\n

The former Saturday Night Live co-stars are working with Snapple to put on the Snapple Island Ferry. It will be hosted by Davidson and Jost, and produced by The Stand Group, which is a part owner of the ferry. The Sept. 17 event will be “a one-day-only, free comedy club built to give New Yorkers an unexpectedly refreshing break from the daily grind,” according to Snapple.<\/p>\n

There will be a limited number of free tickets available, with a set amount dropped daily at 3 p.m. ET from Sept. 3 to Sept. 8. Fans can apply for tickets at register.snappleislandferry.com<\/a> but are limited to one pair per person. The show is for those 21 years or older.<\/p>\n

“Turning the ferry into a floating comedy club with Snapple makes more sense than anything else we considered, and it still doesn’t make much sense,” Davidson said in a statement. “Either way, we’re giving people a chance to take a break, have a laugh, and do something completely ridiculous with us.”<\/p>\n

For fans of the comedians (or the Staten Island Ferry) not in New York, don’t worry! Snapple will be posting clips for the show on their social media channels.<\/p>\n

In September 2024, Jost shared with\u00a0People<\/a> that buying the ferry was not his smartest decision.<\/p>\n

“It is absolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I’ve ever made in my life,” Jost said. “The way I justified it is for the amount of money we were putting into buying it, on just a basic square-footage level, is if you found the right place for it to be, you were essentially buying a building on its side that’s 65,000 square feet. So around New York, that is a very good price per square foot.”<\/p>\n
